Patricia Lynn Yearwood was born in Monticello, Georgia to Jack and Gwen Yearwood, and developed her musical talent in Nashville, Tennessee, where she interned as a receptionist for the local company MTM Records.
Garth Brooks and Yearwood first met in October 1987 recording demos for songwriter Kent Blazy. The two immediately hit it off as friends, and pledged whoever made it big first would help the other out. When Garth landed a major tour in 1991, he brought Trisha along to open all of his shows. Even when they became two of the biggest country stars of the 1990s, they remained close friends.
Yearwood's self-titled debut album was released in 1991, and the lead single, "She's in Love with the Boy," went to the top of the country charts, making her an instant star. Yearwood secured similar success with the 1992 release of "Hearts in Armor", which featured the hit singles “Wrong Side of Memphis,” and “Woman Walk the Line”.
The title track of 1993's "The Song Remembers When" went to number two, and she followed it with a Christmas album, "The Sweetest Gift", in 1994; that year, she also won her first Grammy award. In 1995, Yearwood released her fourth studio album, "Thinkin' About You". The lead single, "XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country Chart, her first #1 since her debut single, followed by her third #1 single, "Thinkin' About You". Yearwood performed at the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
In 1997, Yearwood issued her first compilation, "(Songbook) A Collection of Hits", which became her first album to top the country charts and also reached the pop Top Five. She won a Best Female Country Vocal Performance Grammy for “How Do I Live”. Yearwood's two additional new singles from her Songbook album were major hits, "Perfect Love", which peaked at #1, and a duet with Brooks, "In Another's Eyes". Yearwood was also named "Top Female Vocalist" in 1997 by the Academy of Country Music and won the "Female Vocalist of the Year" award from the Country Music Association in 1997 and 1998.
In 1998, Yearwood won her third Grammy and released her next all-new album, "Where Your Road Leads". Yearwood was inducted into the famed and historic Grand Ole Opry in 1999, cementing her status as a true icon in country music. 2000's "Real Live Woman" was a more personal outing that reflected some of her heartbreak and turmoil caused by her divorce from her husband at the time. She released her eighth studio album in 2001, "Inside Out". The lead single, "I Would've Loved You Anyway" became a Top 5 Country hit, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Country Chart in 2001 and became her first Top 10 since 1999, and her last single to reach the Top 10 to date. Yearwood also played Lt. Cmdr. Teresa Coulter on the TV show JAG as a Navy coroner and forensic pathologist who aids JAG on several cases (seasons 3-7, 7 episodes).
After a three year hiatus from recording albums, Yearwood released her ninth studio album "Jasper County" in 2005. The album was a return to a more country sound than her last several studio recordings. The first single, "Georgia Rain," set the tone for the album, with Yearwood altering the lyrics to pay homage to her home, singing about "the Georgia rain on the Jasper County clay."
In late 2006, Yearwood announced she was parting ways with MCA Records. MCA then released a "Greatest Hits" CD on September 11, 2007. The album features two new songs, plus fifteen other tracks covering her career from 1991-2001. MCA also released "Love Songs" on January 15, 2008; an album made up of previously released tracks from her prior MCA albums. Yearwood's tenth album, "Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love", was released by independent Nashville label Big Machine Records in November 2007, and spawned 3 singles, with the title track peaking at #19 on the Billboard Country Chart.
Yearwood has won three Grammy Awards among several nominations. She has also won the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music awards for Best Female Performer (CMA: 1997, 1998; ACM: 1997).
She married her first husband, Christopher Latham, in 1987 but the two divorced in 1991. Trisha married Robert Reynolds, the bass player for The Mavericks, on May 21, 1994, and they divorced in 1999.
On May 25, 2005, Yearwood became engaged to fellow country superstar and longtime friend Garth Brooks in front of 7,000 fans. On December 10, 2005, they were married in a private ceremony at the couple's home in Owasso, Oklahoma. It was Brooks' second marriage and Yearwood's third. Brooks has three daughters from his first marriage--Taylor, August, and Allie.
Trisha hit the country charts in 2006 with a duet with her husband called "Love Will Always Win". It was the fifth duet the couple has recorded; the others were "In Another's Eyes," "Where Your Road Leads," "Wild as the Wind," and "Squeeze Me In."
Yearwood lives on a ranch in Owasso, Oklahoma with husband Brooks and his three daughters. When she's not touring, she enjoys cooking, hiking, and reading. In April 2008, she released a cookbook entitled "Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen".

I Would
Trisha Yearwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I'da read the last page first
If I'da had the strength to walk away
If I'da known how this would hurt
I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Had I known my heart would break
I'da loved you anyway
It's bitter sweet to look back now
The memories withered on the vine
Just to hold you close to me
For a moment in time
I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I'da loved you anyway
Even if I'd seen it coming
I'd still'd see me running
Straight into your arms
I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I'da loved you anyway
I would've loved you anyway
Trisha Yearwood's song "I Would've Loved You Anyway" is a beautiful ballad that explores the idea of love and heartbreak. The lyrics express the regret and pain that come with loving someone even if it leads to heartbreak. The singer expresses the regret she feels for not being able to predict the outcome of this relationship. She wishes she had known that it would end badly or had the courage to walk away before she got hurt. However, even with all the hurt and pain, she still would have loved this person anyway. She wouldn't change a single thing about it, even knowing the end result.
The lyrics are reflective, as the singer looks back on the relationship and memories that have now withered. These memories are bitter-sweet, as they remind her of the happiness that once was, but now bring her pain. Despite this, she still takes comfort in holding the memories close, just for a moment in time. The last verse perhaps is the most powerful, as it suggests that even if she had known this heartbreak was coming, she still would have run straight into this person's arms because of the intense love that she feels. This shows how the power of someone's love can override all logic and reason.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the complicated nature of love and how it can both hurt and heal us. It reminds us that the memories and love we share with someone will always be worth it, even if it ends in heartbreak.

If I'd've known the way that this would end
If I'd've read the last page first
If I'd've had the strength to walk away
If I'd've known how this would hurt...
I would've loved you anyway

This song simply resonates with my soul right now. I lost my Beloved Bride a week and a half ago on August 13, 2017. We were two weeks away from our 18th anniversary. She had been fighting Stage 4 colo-rectal cancer since November 2013 and there was just nothing more that we could do. I stood by her through that entire battle and finally was able to get her into in-home hospice where she spent her last days. We had no children and she was my entire world. To say that I am heartbroken doesn't even begin to describe how I am feeling, but if I were given the chance, I would absolutely do it all again! I am a better man because of her. My Tricia was 47 years old; far too young to have to endure the things that she did for so long, but her strength and grace amazed me from the time we met until she took her last breath. I am a very fortunate man to have been chosen by her. I promised to spend the rest of my life with her... she DID spend the rest of her life with me.
Rest now, my Love... we will see each other again.
